How can I sort the "Your charities and donations" list in TurboTax Premier desktop version?

Currently there is no built-in feature to automatically alphabetize a list of charities in TurboTax Online or within the "Step-by-Step" interview mode of TurboTax Desktop.

In TurboTax Desktop 2025, there is a technical workaround using Forms Mode to sort your data.

Here's how:

Select the Forms icon in the upper-right corner of your screen.
In the list of forms on the left, locate and select the Charitable Contributions Worksheet (or the Schedule A Worksheet section for donations).
Click on any line within the table where your charities are listed.
Go to the Edit menu at the top of your program.
Select Sort Table.
A dialog box will appear; choose to sort by Charity Name in Ascending order.
Click OK. This will reorganize your current list alphabetically.

I opened the "Charity Contrib" form and selected a charity, however "Sort Table" was grayed out. Same results for Cash and Non-Cash contributions. Grayed out for Schedule "A" too.

I assume you are using desktop and haven't filed already. Have you tried to do this even though it is grayed out? Be sure to click directly into a data field, the edit.

RANT warning:

The listing of charities provided by TurboTax form previous years returns has always been random, making it hard to find a given charity to enter. I swap which charities I donate to on an annual basis but maintain a large list. The list includes more than 150 charities. This has not been a problem in previous years using desktop TurboTax because I have always been able to sort the charities and donations, making it much easier to find and update.

** I have to wonder if Intuit's best programmers are now working on AI.

I made my own work-around, but I should not have to do that. This reduced functionality makes me wonder - are there other ways in which TurboTax 2025 is now less useful? Can I still trust Intuit? I won't be using TurboTax next year unless I see a commitment to do better.
